We look to produce a ‘best-of’ combined XI made up of Goodison Park and Anfield talent.
Pepe Reina
Though the Spaniard isn’t perhaps having a great season by his own very high standard he still walks into this line-up ahead of Tim Howard.
Leighton Baines
Probably the most consistent full-back in the Premier League. A provider of much of Everton’s attacking invention as well as being a damn fine defender.
Martin Skrtel
Mr. Dependable never shirks out of a challenge.
Phil Jagielka
Has forced his way into the England starting eleven thanks to some solid displays over the past 18 months.
Seamus Coleman
Attack minded Irishman sneaks into this eleven despite strong competition from Liverpool youngster Martin Kelly.
Raheem Sterling
Fantastic potential and already a proven Premier League force. Teenager Sterling is very much the future of Liverpool Football Club.
Steven Gerrard
After perhaps a fairly sedate period of his Liverpool career the England man has been somewhere near his best over the past six to eight months, still bossing the midfield though we will have him in a wide role for our eleven.
Joe Allen
Stylish pint sized midfielder who epitomizes how Brendan Rodgers wants the game to be played.
Marouane Fellaini
Big Belgian will slot in behind the top two for our Merseyside combined XI.
Luis Suarez
Liverpool man has gotten some flak over recent weeks over allegations of diving but there is no denying that the Uruguayan is one of the toughest strikers for Premier League defences to deal with.
Nikica Jelavic
Croatian has been a big success since his move to Goodison Park from Rangers and we place him alongside Suarez up front.
